MISS BESSIE WHITTLE A BRIDE
Miss Bessie Whittle , daughter of Mrs.
Phoebe Whittle, became the . bride of
Ralph M. Maulfair , of Reading, on Thurs-day,
April 7. The ceremony was held at
12:30 noon in the Lutheran Church, of
Chester, with the pastor, Rev. John I.
Meek, a former pastor at Trinity Lutheran
officiating. The couple were unattended.
They will reside at 1346 Good street ,
Reading.
The bride was one of Hershey 's most
estimable and charming young ladies.
Her friends and admirers are legion.
At work she was capable and during a
period of eight successive years her services
in the Sales Department were valued
highly. She was active in the social life
of the community, was deeply interested
in the local Y. W. C. A. and prominently
affiliated with the T. A. A. Club.
Mr. Maulfair is also well known not
only in Hershey but throughout this entire
section. He is the son of Mrs. Annie
Maulfair and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs.
C. S. Maulfair , residing on Chocolate Ave.
He had been a member of the Hershey
organization for almost fifteen years but
upon his return from the army at the
close of the world war , he decided to locate
in Reading where he has since been lucra-tively
employed at the Luden Candy
Factory.
It may truthfully be said that if tht
wishes of Hershey friends are granted
these newlyweds will know nought but
happiness and success throughout the
span of life , and in these wishes "The
PRESS" heartily joins.

The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
met in regular session on Tuesday evening,
April 5, at the Fire Company room. It
was the most enthusiastic meeting held
in many months for an unusually large
number of members had turned out to
make this meeting a red-letter event in the
history of the institution. Each one in
attendance seemed imbued with a new life
which fact had an electrifying effect, upon
the activities of the evening.
After current business matters were dis-posed
of the members launched into a
vigorous discussion of questions pertaining
to the vital needs of the Company. Fire
protection as afforded by the present
equipment of the Company was carefully
studied and after a lengthy discussion it
was unanimousl y decided that the Comp-any
is urgently in need of improved fire
fighting apparatus. A number of encour-aging
suggestions were submitted by
various firemen which resulted in making
definite arrangements to procure the much
needed apparatus.
Every citizen of Hershey is (if sufficient
thought is given) intensel y interested in
the fire protection this community has.
Of the more than five hundred families in
Hershey almost half of them are property
owners- these especially should be vitally
interested in this important question of
fire protection. And every other member
of the community is nigh as equally
interested. Fire means loss, waste, de-struction
, to homes, factory, churches,
etc., and every good citizen proves himself
a good citizen by his interest and efforts
in the prevention of and protection against
fire.
Therefore a big BOOSTER MEETING
is being planned for some time in May, at
which occasion the Fire Company desires
to have every citizen of Hershey present.
It is purposed to make this'a real , honest -
to-goodness town meeting, the like of
which has never been held before. You
will want to be there- old and young,
ladies and men, girls and boys- and bring
the babies along too. Let 's make it a
regular family affair , a sort of indoor
picnic with everybody doing a bit to help
along and to boost a worthy idea into a
genuine record-smashing success.
Yes, there 'll be eats and drinks in
bountiful measure and wholesome. There
will be splendid music and good addresses.
Doesn't that sound like a picnic, a regular
old-fashioned town picnic? Why, you
simply can 't miss it. We're all going to
be there and we're all a-going to have
something to say on this great subject of
fire protection.
A committee has been appointed to
make this a great occasion. They will
leave no stone unturned to make success
possible. You will be acquainted with
details from time to time and in the mean-time
start talking to everybod y you meet
about this great booster meeting. Make
your decision now to attend and prevail
upon your neighbors to accompany you.
Talk "booster meeting" at every . oppor-tunity
and keep your eye on following
issues of the Press for details.
Monster Booster Meeting Will be Held in
May by Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
MISS KATHRYN WELTMER
HONORED
Miss Kathryn Weltmer was honored on
Wednesday evening, April 6, when a
number of friends gathered unexpectedly
at the Weltmer home to celebrate Miss
Kathryn 's birthday. These good friends
brought with them beautiful gifts , bestow-ing
them upon the honor guest of the
evening, who was sincerely glad for the
kindness thus extended.
The evening was jovially spent , games
and contests of various kinds claiming the
attention of every one present. Music
and dancing was also very much enjoyed
and a delicious course of refreshments was
served.
Present were: Isabclle Buchanan , Lu-cille
Gilman , Sara Christ , Sara Stauffer ,
Eva Runkle , Mildred Miller , Dorothy
HorBtick , of Palmyra; Lydia Weltmer ,
Howard Silil<s , Lloyd Gilman , Earle Hack-man,
William Belser , Frank Edrin , Clar-ence
Wiley, Harry 1 locker , William Leil-hitter
and Harry Wolfe , of Harrisburg. ,
Prizes were won by Miss Buchanan and
Mr. Siliks.
The Annual Clean-up Week and fly
campaign is on. It opened on Monday,
April 11 and will continue in its national
scope during this entire week, closing on
Saturday, April 16.
The local campaign has been organized
by Health officer , John Allwine, who is
being assisted in this good work by H. N.
Herr a;id A. T. Heilman. They, of course,
need the heart y cooperation of everybod y
in order that our community may quite
effectively and thoroughly be cleaned of
all filth , dirt , garbage, etc. They antici-pate
your willing assistance and are
confident no one will refuse to help along
in this important question.
The fundamental and basic reason for
a clean-up campaign is to eliminate and to
exterminate the fly. The success of the
campaign therefore depends upon the
results of our efforts in this direction and
going another step farther , these results
are contingent upon the success realized
in destroying the breeding place of the fly.
Flies breed in filth- therefore , filth
should be removed. Ninet y per cent of
House Flies are bred in the manure of
horse stables and hog pens. Manure
should be removed twice a week during
the fly season. Privies to which flies have
access afford the double danger of offering
a breeding place and focus for the spread
of disease. If we would get rid of (lies the
rational thing to do is to completely re-move
every manure heap, to empty privy
vaults , to promptly remove garbage, to
clean up all filth and dirt before the flies
begin to breed.
Fly traps should be placed in locations
where conditions attractive to flies exist.
They are easy of construction and should
be kept baited at all times. A piece of
banana peel (moist), a little syrup that
has started to ferment , or the head of
fish make excellent bait.
Sticky fly paper will materially help to
reduce the adult fly population. Strips
suspended from the ceiling, are the best
fly catchers.
All doors and windows should be
screened. Every house should have one
or more swatters and they should be used
at every opportunity.
Flies are a dirty, filthy dangerous enemy
of mankind. It is decided economy to
wage a clean-up fly campaign as the
money spent annually in doctor bills for
preventable diseases carried by Hies would
more than repay for the complete eradi-cation
of every fly breeding place.
Then come along. Lets all help to
clean up and swat the pesky fly. Let 's
help to make Hershey a lilthiess , dirtless ,
gnrbagoloss and (lyless community in the
interests of belter citizentthip and better
health.
CLEAN-UP WEEK AND FLY CAM-PAIGN

Marriage of the
Midgets at Hershey
Central Theatre
Mr. Ezra Hershey was recently in re-ceipt
of a letter from a young man attend-ing
Temple University, in which the writer
was endeavoring to get in touch with the
mother of "Jim" McSherry. Mrs. Mc-
Sherry is now living in Harrisburg so that
Mr. Hershey was able to forward the
information asked for. The acknowledg-ing
letter is printed herewith. There are
many here who well remember "Jim"
McSherry, and the other members of the
McSherry family, and will accordingly be
interested to read the following letter
which explains itself.
Mr. Ezra F. Hershey,
Dear Sir:—
In school this morning your
friend Mr. I. D. Shoop, gave me your
letter , and I wish to thank you for notify-ing
Mr. McSherry, and also for your
interest in the matter .
As James-and I wei e Company runners,
we came to know each other ver y well,
and naturally became buddies. When we
arrived in France, we were put on duty at
company headquarters, so we had to
relieve each other. Somehow or other
Jim always talked as though he would not
come back , and I tried to discourage him
in this subject , but he always talked about
it , so one day while " we were in Reserve
back of Chateau-Thierry, he said he did
not think he would get through the drive,
so he asked me to let his Mother know
how it happened. This was about a week
before we went up to the lines.
The night of July 23, '18, we moved up
to the front and made ready to relieve
the troops in front , when at twelve
o'clock we drew back and at four thirty
the morning of the 24th , we moved up
again. We were in a patch of woods
north of a town called Cirgey. About
nine thirty they began shelling us, and in
the confusion we became lost from "Lieut.
Kriechbaum " (who was from Chambers-burg).
We had to be with him , so we
started forward to find him, when they
began shelling more heavily. We dropped
when a shell struck close to us, and then
got up and st arted forward , when another
hit directly in front of Jim. (A fragment
struck me in the right hip and knee which
caused the amputation of my right limb) .
I became unconscious, and when I came
to , 1 saw Jim 's lips moving, so I crawled
over to him , and he said , please tell my
mother. So 1 tried to get in touch with
her , but it seems no one knew , so when I
came here I met Mr. Shoop, who said , he
would help me.
Thanking you again for^your interest .
Respect fully yours,
Mr. Clyde E. Rankin.

After current business matters were dis-posed
of the members launched into a
vigorous discussion of questions pertaining
to the vital needs of the Company. Fire
protection as afforded by the present
equipment of the Company was carefully
studied and after a lengthy discussion it
was unanimousl y decided that the Comp-any
is urgently in need of improved fire
fighting apparatus. A number of encour-aging
suggestions were submitted by
various firemen which resulted in making
definite arrangements to procure the much
needed apparatus.
Every citizen of Hershey is (if sufficient
thought is given) intensel y interested in
the fire protection this community has.
Of the more than five hundred families in
Hershey almost half of them are property
owners- these especially should be vitally
interested in this important question of
fire protection. And every other member
of the community is nigh as equally
interested. Fire means loss, waste, de-struction
, to homes, factory, churches,
etc., and every good citizen proves himself
a good citizen by his interest and efforts
in the prevention of and protection against
fire.
Therefore a big BOOSTER MEETING
is being planned for some time in May, at
which occasion the Fire Company desires
to have every citizen of Hershey present.
It is purposed to make this'a real , honest -
to-goodness town meeting, the like of
which has never been held before. You
will want to be there- old and young,
ladies and men, girls and boys- and bring
the babies along too. Let 's make it a
regular family affair , a sort of indoor
picnic with everybody doing a bit to help
along and to boost a worthy idea into a
genuine record-smashing success.
Yes, there 'll be eats and drinks in
bountiful measure and wholesome. There
will be splendid music and good addresses.
Doesn't that sound like a picnic, a regular
old-fashioned town picnic? Why, you
simply can 't miss it. We're all going to
be there and we're all a-going to have
something to say on this great subject of
fire protection.
A committee has been appointed to
make this a great occasion. They will
leave no stone unturned to make success
possible. You will be acquainted with
details from time to time and in the mean-time
start talking to everybod y you meet
about this great booster meeting. Make
your decision now to attend and prevail
upon your neighbors to accompany you.
Talk "booster meeting" at every . oppor-tunity
and keep your eye on following
issues of the Press for details.
Monster Booster Meeting Will be Held in
May by Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
